Poem by Emily Elizabeth Dickinson

Bequest

You left me, sweet, two legacies, —
A legacy of love
A Heavenly Father would content,
Had He the offer of; 

You left me boundaries of pain
Capacious as the sea,
Between eternity and time,
Your consciousness and me.

1. Love’s Baptism
2. Resurrection

4. The Heart Asks Pleasure First
5. To Fight Aloud Is Very Brave
